C
There was magic in the secret garden that spring and summer. Dickon and Mary's seeds grew and the roses—the roses! From small buds they grew into large flowers.
Colin saw it all. Dickon pushed his wheelchair(轮椅) to the garden every morning and he spent the day there. Sometimes Colin sat on the grass watching the insects and animals.
One morning, the children were in the secret garden as usual. When Ben Weatherstaff arrived, Colin said, “Good morning, Ben Weatherstaff. I want you and Dickon and Mary to listen to me because I'm going to tell you something very important.” ①
“Yes, Sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff.
“I'm going to do a scientific experiment(实验),” he said. “When I grow up, I'm going to make scientific discoveries about magic and I'm going to start with this experiment. Do you understand?” ②
“Yes, Sir!” said Ben Weatherstaff, but he didn't really understand.
“I believe that there is magic in everything,” continued Colin. “Dickon knows some magic. He charms animals and people. Mary also knows a bit of magic because she was born in India. There's magic in the garden too. I'm going to try and put some in me because I want to be well and strong. I'm going to say—magic is in me! And you must all say it too. That is my experiment. Are you going to help, Ben Weatherstaff?”
“Yes, Sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff.
They sat down in a circle. The crow, the squirrels and the lamb were very curious(好奇的).
“Now, let's begin,” Colin said, and they all started chanting.
“Magic is in me. Magic is in me. Magic is in all of us.”
Then Colin stood up and walked round the garden. He went in front with Dickon on one side and Mary on the other. Ben Weatherstaff walked behind.
Colin walked a bit and then rested. Then he walked again and rested again. At first, he held Dickon's arm, then he walked a few steps alone. ③
“I can walk! The magic worked!” he cried.
“What is the doctor going to say?” asked Mary.
“Nothing,” Colin answered, “because we aren't going to tell him. No one must know that I can walk and run. It's a surprise for my father when he comes back to Misselthwaite.” ④
“He's going to think it's a dream,” said Mary.

【分析】
32题：需定位划线词“chanting”的语境，结合后文孩子们重复说的内容判断词义；
33题：事件排序题，需按原文先后顺序梳理事件，匹配对应选项；
34题：句子回填题，需分析待填句描述的人物状态，结合原文语境判断合适位置；
35题：细节理解题，需逐一核对选项与原文信息，排除错误选项找到正确表述。
【解析】
32题：定位到“they all started chanting”的语境，后文是孩子们反复重复“Magic is in me. Magic is in all of us.”，可知“chanting”意为“反复唱”，对应选项A；
33题：梳理原文事件顺序：d（One morning, the children were in the secret garden as usual.）→c（Colin解释要做科学实验）→b（孩子们开始chant）→a（Colin起初扶着Dickon的胳膊走路），故顺序为d-c-b-a，选B；
34题：待填句描述“人物努力时脸变红但不放弃”，原文③处是Colin尝试走路的过程，正好对应该状态，故选C；
35题：A选项：原文提到“then he walked a few steps alone”，正确；B选项：Colin未告诉医生，错误；C选项：Ben Weatherstaff一开始不理解，错误；D选项：动物对实验很好奇，错误，故选A。
